Famous Seamus
(NZ)About
Famous Seamus is a 16yo bay gelding from New Zealand trained by Noel Mayfield-Smith. He is sired by the stallion Elusive City out of the dam Clinique. With a Group One win and career earnings of $1,322,750, Famous Seamus is considered an elite racehorse. On 10th May 2014 at Doomben, Famous Seamus, ridden by Ryan Wiggins, secured his most notable victory in the $400,000 Bundaberg Distilling Co. Btc Cup, defeating Spirit of Boom. He has been a profitable horse for bettors. Backing Famous Seamus throughout his career would have yielded a 47% return on investment. Famous Seamus has retired from racing, with his final race on 3rd Jun 2017 at Rosehill Gardens.
